Following up on its tweet revealing an image of the Motorola DROID MAXX (XT-1080M), evleaks has disseminated a new picture on Monday, revealing a render of both sides of the Motorola DROID Ultra (XT-1080). The Kevlar build remains a hallmark of the recent DROID line and the Ultra is definitely going to to live up to its name specs-wise. We anticipate seeing the phone launch with a 5 inch screen featuring resolution of 1080 x 1920, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM. With the Motorola Moto X already pegged as offering a mid-range experience, this might be the highest spec'd DROID model for now.

A couple of comments about the cosmetics of the device. The Motorola DROID Ultra is thinner than the 'MAXX' version that evleaks outed the other day. This makes sense because of the thicker cell used for the extended battery. Also, the phone will be available in black, white (XT-1080W) and red (XT-1080R). We should also point out the lack of any branding on the front of the phone save for a small Motorola bat wings logo on the front corner of the phone.

Even then, Google did say they wanted to focus on cameras, so this camera might actually be decent. The text around the camera module looks like it says 10 megapixels, which is the same that is rumored for the Moto X

The only flaw is the fact that it will be a Verizon phone which means bloatwear up the ass, updates as fast as a snail, CDMA not GSM standard, and no unlimited data which means that LTE chip is being wasted.

True. It may ultimately come down to size and feel then, since the UI and camera are likely identical. If the Moto X is only a 4.5" screen (splitting the difference between the iPhone and Galaxy), I'm not interested.

My RAZR went from Gingerbread to ICS to JB, and the updates came in a timely fashion, that is why you buy a flagship phone RIGHT when it comes out. You catch the full upgrade path that way. Typed using my RAZR

it won't be better, just different.
Motorola will probably make pretty clear distinctions between their Google babies and their Droid handsets.

Droid handsets will be more expensive Verizon-ized Powerhouses
and the initial Google influenced devices will be inexpensive with more mid range specs but they'll probably make people more happy because
Google will see to it that they get quick updates and Motorola will be giving consumers more personalzation options.

I think you misunderstood. He was asking which would get better support; the Verizon Moto X, or a Droid branded phone like the Ultra in the article. The obvious answer is the Moto X because it is the pure Google device that will get updates near instantly. Even though it's on Verizon, it will still get better updates than the Moto-skinned Droid Ultra.

Well the Moto X should be completely stock, it is Google's phone after all. The Droid Ultra I would think Motorola would add onto it, because that really is their flagship. So, The Moto X's updates will go through Google to Verizon, but the Droid Ultra will have to wait until Motorola gets done adding onto it before it goes to Verizon. It shouldn't take long because Motorola's skin is very light, but still slower than the Moto X.

The Galaxy Nexus update on Verizon was delaying for a few months, but it was still much faster than any other carrier branded Android phone. The Galaxy Nexus was in the generation of the Galaxy S2 and Droid Razr, and neither of those got Jelly Bean until 2013, while the Verizon Galaxy Nexus got it in September.

Well, we were also hoping for the S4 Pro on the Razr HD, but instead we got the typical S4 Plus even though the S4 Pro was readily available. At the very least I would think they would put in a Snapdragon 600, but the 800 is welcome.

Hope forever, expect nothing, I guess. Whatever they put inside the Ultra, it should support LTE-A. Heck, it should outdo anything else on Verizon for the rest of the year. It's about time we had a stellar all-around Droid.

'While we are told not to expect the Motorola Moto X at the manufacturer's July 11th event, no one said anything about the new DROID models."

Has anyone considered.... 11.11.11 was the DROID Razr. Anyone who bought the Razr at release will be due for their 20 month upgrade this week. Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but with leaks coming fast and furious, the Ultra could arrive this month.

i dont really see the "small Motorola bat wings logo on the front corner of the phone" anywhere in the picture!!
also prefer having the lock and volume rocker buttons on different sides of any device..

Or, Verizon (which actually owns the Droid name) should cut the brand down to the 1-2 really solid Motorola devices it needs. Which is pretty much exactly what they're doing with the Ultra and Ultra M.
